TESTIMONIALS
“Philip is an extraordinary gifted teacher and musician. My daughter has been his student for 6 years, and it has been an amazing journey. Philip is always so patient and effective during the lessons with her, and he has a real gift for drawing out her best abilities. My daughter not only enjoys her individual lessons, but also tremendously loves the ensemble playing with other students from the studio. In addition to the regular weekly classes, his recitals are phenomenal, memorable, and greatly showcase his students' talent, progress, and musicality. Despite the global pandemic, Philip was able to provide regular performance opportunities to all the students by holding the Virtual Recitals. All the in-person Recitals, Virtual Recitals, mini-Recitals, ensemble performance opportunities in Philip's studio have played a significant impact on her and helped her grew into a musician. She was named the Concertmaster of her youth symphony due to the excellent violin education she has received from Philip. We are extremely lucky to have Philip as our violin instructor and it's definitely a privilege to be part of his studio."

“Philip is an excellent teacher and gave me very helpful pointers on my technique. I am an advanced player and have performed semi-professionally several times, but hadn't learned proper technique in the past.
I plan to continue with him regularly to improve my technique and skill level."

“Philip's attention to form and technique is greatly appreciated. Our son has improved a great deal in his technical skills in violin since starting with Philip. Philip is a clear communicator, and sets the expectations with the student from the very beginning, and empowers the student to take charge of their own learning."

“We are very grateful for everything that Philip has taught our daughter over the past four years. She started with Philp as a beginner, but is now nearly advanced level. Violin is a hard instrument, but my daughter really enjoys learning from Philip and she has made tremendous progress. Last year, she won a gold medal at the DMTA performance festival in her age category, and we couldn’t be more excited for her! She couldn’t have achieved what she has today without Philip’s guidance. Even though we switched to online lessons from in person lessons since COVID hit, her progress never slowed down. Philip is an amazing teacher and musician. We highly recommend him!"

“Philip was so friendly and patient, and made my 7 year old very comfortable during her lessons. He really knew how to speak on her level and his instruction was very positive and motivating. My daughter leaves each lesson very excited to start practicing what he showed her, and we always look forward to the next lesson!"

"When you play a violin piece, you are a storyteller, and you're telling a story."
